Post mortem

The post mortems are being written on the presidential election. The Republicans have glommed onto the meme that they failed to attract sufficient Hispanics and women to overcome Obama’s natural advantage with these voters.

The post mortems are being written on the presidential election. The Republicans have glommed onto the meme that they failed to attract sufficient Hispanics and women to overcome Obama’s natural advantage with these voters. This is a lie and the GOP elites know it. More than 3 million registered Republican voters were electoral no-shows on election day. They simply balked at voting for another moderate, middle of the road country club Republican. Romney never captured the hearts and minds of the conservative wing of the party. The harshest thing he could say about Obama was that “he’s a nice guy, just in over his head.” Romney was a milquetoast candidate just waiting to be defeated.

The election preserved the status quo ante. We still have in almost equal numbers the corrupt party and the stupid party.
